This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Donisthorpe offers practical family living on an average-sized footprint. The ground floor layout includes a generous living room, a newly fitted kitchen with breakfast bar, adjoining utility and dining room that opens into a conservatory — a flexible everyday space for family meals and relaxed entertaining. A private rear garden, single garage and driveway provide useful outdoor and parking space for a small family.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a single family bathroom with a bath and shower over. An insulated-looking cavity wall and double glazing (install date unknown) should help retain warmth, but the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler, which may be costlier or less convenient than mains gas for some buyers. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, so buyers who work from home should check connectivity options.
Externally there’s a powered outbuilding with an existing bar area that could serve as a workshop, home office or hobby room. The house sits on a small plot within a quiet, low-crime town-fringe setting surrounded by countryside — ideal for families who value outdoor walks and easy access to larger towns. Local primary schools are rated Good, and the M1 is within a short drive, making commuter journeys straightforward.
Practical buyers should note the single bathroom and small front garden; the property is modern in style but may suit those wanting straightforward, low-maintenance living or modest future improvements. Tenure is freehold and council tax is described as inexpensive.
